Also, if you think people are buying the 1M for prestige, you're not getting the point.
p.s. I have no skin in this game at all. Not planning to sell and don't care if the car is worth 10k or 100k in 10 years. I've had people approach me wanting to buy the car from me though and I can tell you that those who are genuinely interested in buying this car and have the means to do so, don't consider the market to be over-inflated. |
The Z8 is another demographic than the 1 series crowd. The Z8 is the ultimate BMW beside the original M1 in 1979-80. And I dont think BMW will ever make another Halo car. I have always had my eye on a Z8 and I finally pulled the trigger back in Jan. The build quality of the Z8 is amazing, v8 power with the 6 speed manual is awesome. It is a special occasion car, whereas the 1M can be driven everyday which much more enjoyment.
